LEARN MORE ABOUT MICHAEL

Tell us a little bit about your history and how you came to be at Wickens Herzer Panza.

I have worked at Wickens Herzer Panza since 2012, working any time I was home from college on summer, fall, or winter break. I first started in the file room as a Firm Services Assistant. While attending Law School, I worked as a Law Clerk for the Litigation Department, but also performed research for the Business Organizations & Tax Department. Upon being admitted to the Bar on November 13, 2017, I have practiced as an Attorney in the Litigation Department.

Tell me something unique about yourself.

I am a third generation Cleveland-Marshall graduate and attorney. My Grandfather, Michael P. Nakon, and my uncle, Matt Nakon, each attended before me. The law is in my blood.
